Chapter 183

Bly vouchers

Charles found it beneath his dignity to get into a shouting match with someone like Eric.

Be gently pulled Yolanda behind him, his voice soft. “Go wait in the car.”

Yolanda nodded, worry written all over her face as she grabbed his sleeve. “Charles, don’t make it too big. I’m scared the Sinclair family will hear about it.”

She looked down, her voice low. “If something like this gets out, no matter what actually happened, people won’t be judging me. They’ll judge you.”

Even now, she was still more anxious about his reputation than her own.

Charles’s eyes grew softer and he reached out to gently rub the top of her head. “Go wait in the car for me,” he said in a low, soothing voice.

Yolanda headed outside and, once she got in the car, closed her eyes for a quick nap.

Nobody knew what Charles said to the cops, and no one bothered to even look at Eric.

Eric lived to be the center of attention. Being ignored was pure torture for him; it drove him nuts.

After finishing his conversation with the police, Charles finally turned his attention to Eric.

Eric sneered, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. “Your wife’s nothing but a whore. She’s hooking up behind your back with some pretty boy. You act all classy, but she still cheated on you–serves you right! There’s no shortage of guys who keep their eyes on her, and I’m just one of them.”

Charles didn’t hesitate. He swung his fist and landed a solid punch right in Eric’s gut. Eric coughed up more blood and nearly passed out.

The police quickly stepped in, trying to calm things down. “Mr. Sinclair, this guy’s got a pretty extreme personality. He said all that just to insult Miss Grant. Last night, the nurse on duty called us–Miss Grant was terrified. Whoever helped her was probably just someone who couldn’t stand by and watch. By the time we got there, they’d already left.”

Charles kept his tone cool and steady. “I get it. I’ll look into all this myself. Thanks for your work.”

When he got back to the car, he spotted the cut on her lip. His eyes flashed coldly,

“Did that guy bite you?” he asked.

Yolanda opened her eyes, tears threatening. “No, I did it to myself,” she murmured.

He hugged her tightly.
